Raspbarry Jem

In high school, it was all about Victoria's Secret lotion. Everyone else was into the Sunripened Raspberry, which immediately turned me off on the scent. I rocked Juicy Pear for years. When it came time for slathering up, (this was always a community event afterall) the other girls pulled out pink bottles lotion from their backpacks while I pull out green. They would look at my lotion and say.. "yeah, I have that one at home, but I like the raspberry best." And everyone would sniff the others lotions and I always, always preferred my pear. I even put it in my hair after swimming.

But, we're not in high school anymore are we? And now I live in Montana and raspberries are the epitome of cool. Unless you can find huckleberries, or are willing to fork over $50 for them at the farmers market. Which I have done before, but lets get back on track.

There is a honor system, u-pick raspberry patch about 20 minutes from us and we took our annual trip the other day. Twas hot... but we ended up with about 10 cups of berries which I promptly made into jam.

I police this stuff like its gold. Every jar opened needs to last, because we only have 8 to make it through the year! When the last one is opened I start getting jittery.

The result? 8 precious jars..

I've made a lot of jam over the last few years and think I've got our families sugar vibe figured out. A batch of raspberry jam in July, two batches of strawberry jam in August and 2 batches of spiced peach jam in the fall. I'm actually trying to figure out what we do with all that jam because we don't do pb&j.. (well, its a treat, not a meal..) But we go through it in a years time.

We're getting into that canning preserving time, what are you guys looking forward to "putting up"?

i love to put up jam too! it is like opening summer in the winter! I was going to try making pickles this year but haven't gotten enough cucumbers out of my garden. Jam is really good stirred into plain greek yogurt. Have a good week!

The raspberries in our area did terribly this year because we had so much rain. They all molded before they could be picked. I was so sad not to make any jam this year. I have frozen 35 lbs of blueberries so far and hope to do about 15 lbs more. Need that for my blueberry smoothies! Besides that I am really hoping for a good tomato crop this year!

Johnathan Jospeh’s groin looked just fine and my guess is that his groin issue bothered him in the last couple of games, but it wasn’t the only reason he got beat. What I liked best was that Joseph was all over Torrey Smith and I don’t think I saw Smith with legitimate separation down the field at all. While Joseph got flagged for penalties a couple of times, I would rather see him all over a WR than getting beat down the field.
